The local{yes,mod}config targets currently have streamline_config.pl as
a prerequisite. This is redundant, because streamline_config.pl is a
checked-in file with no prerequisites.

Remove the prerequisite and reference streamline_config.pl directly in
the recipe of the rule instead.

Thanks! Almost good.

Just small nits.

'$(src)/streamline_config.pl' is better than '$(obj)/streamline_config.pl'
since it is a checked-in file.

'$(src)' and '$(obj)' are always the same.
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/scripts/Makefile.build#L6)


So, there is no effective difference.
It is just a coding convention to use $(obj)/ for generated files,
and $(src)/ for source files.

The original code already used $(obj)/, so this is not your fault
but I want to fix it while we are here.



One more nit.

$(obj)/conf $(silent) --silentoldconfig $(Kconfig);

can be

$< $(silent) --silentoldconfig $(Kconfig);


I guess you did not touch this line to avoid
conflict with my patch.



If you agree those two, shall I fix it up
when I apply it?

No.

This is not a matter of taste,
but a bug that must be fixed.


This patch breaks out-of-tree build.

If O=... is given, it is error.

For somebody wondering why the current code works
for out-of-tree building.


Kbuild sets VPATH
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Makefile#L208)


So, Make searches for pre-requisites in both objtree and srctree
when building out-of-tree.

VPATH does not work for recipe lines.
So, we need to specify the exact path to streamline_config.pl

Yep, plus I wanted to keep the patch focused.

That's fine by me. I'll assume less sanity from the existing code from
now on. :)

Applied to linux-kbuild/kconfig.  Thanks!


I changed

[1]  $(obj)/streamline_config.pl
    -> $(srctree)/$(src)/streamline_config.pl

    Mandatory change to avoid out-of-tree build error

[2]  $(obj)/conf   ->  $<

    Clean-up
